Descriptive notes. Head-body 53-58 mm (tailless), forearm 36-2-37-8 mm. No other specific measurements are available. Baker’s Tent-making Bat is medium-sized, with gray dorsal fur. Dorsal hairs are bicolored, with pale band at bases and mostly gray toward tips. On broad rostrum, there is a pair of white stripes above and below eyes. Hairs are scarce or totally absent in ears and on uropatagium. Ear margins, lateral part of noseleaf, and lancet are yellow. Thin white line crosses dorsum, running from posterior head/neck to posterior end of body. Interorbital bone region is swollen, and there is a little developed crest in suture between parietals and temporal bones. Vomer and turbinate bones are well developed. Dental formula for species of Umdermnis 12/2, C 1/1, P 2/2, M 3/8 (x2) = 32. I* and 1° are bilobed and have unequal lobes. I' are much larger than I* and separated by gaps.
